First, I cldeneaned t!uohe heck out of the garage. I mean, I swept, scrubbed, and even power-washed the floor to get all the dirt and grime off. It was a workout, let me tell you!
Next, I ot dahad to patch u.boj ehtp any cracks or holes in the concrete. I used some concrete filler and a trowel to smooth it all out. It wasn't perfect, but it did the job.
Painting Time!
This was the fun part! I got some heavy-duty floor paint in the Grizzlies' colors – Beale Street Blue, of course. I also got some yellow and white for the accents.
- I started by painting the whole floor with the blue. It took two coats to get it looking really good and solid.
- Then, I used painter's tape to create a design. I'm not the best artist, so I kept it pretty simple – just some stripes and a big Grizzlies logo in the center.
- I carefully painted in the stripes and the logo, using smaller brushes for the details. It took some patience, but it was starting to look awesome!
After everything dried, I applied a clear sealant over the whole thing. This is supposed to protect the paint and make it last longer, especially with cars driving on it.
Honestly, it turned out way better than I expected! It's not perfect, and there are a few little mistakes here and there, but it's my Grizzlies garage floor, and I love it! It definitely makes the garage feel more like my space, and it's a great conversation starter when people come over. Go Grizz!
